Introducing ZUVAA Fashions

Standard

I love this African label. ZUVAA, a new community for African Fashion – Founded in 2013 by US-based entrepreneur Kelechi Anyadiegwu, ZUVAA is a new online store that showcases African inspired fashion from all over the world. Zuvaa comes from the Shona language of Zimbabwe and means ‘sunshine.’ ‘Zuvaa’ represents the vibrant and positive spirit of the continent of Africa and how you let your personal light shine.

In February, designer Victoria Beckham showed her eponymous fall 2014 collection—full of sleek, feminine pieces—to a crowd of admiring fans. Shot by contemporary art photographer Todd Hido, the collection—comprised of colorblocked tunics, lady-like shifts, and youthful, bug-print dresses—is shown in a moody, dramatic light. With the emphasis on texture this season, from the intricate embroidery and sparkly lamé to the delicate glass beading and rich, velvet fabric, Beckham chose to debut her collection, not with a traditional look book, but with a video that would highlight the detailed garments and bring the clothes to life: “The idea of telling a story and using different characters enabled us to work together to create something different from the usual Look Book format both in photography and film,” Beckham said of the collaboration.
